TAIPEI - HK

so ..ding nen and i departed to taipei on the 24th july via cathay pacific...lol....u noe wats so cool abt cathay..is that u can see the wheel part of the plane while it takes off...and lands...damn cool la....err u can see it from the screen..i think theres a cam down the plane or something....anyway....taipei is friggin hot....the hottest was 38 degrees during the day (KL is at 28 degrees) and 33 during the night....so it was sooooo friggin hot we dont even feel like going out dooors....lol....so as u can see.....thats taipei 101....taller than KLCC but i would say KLCC is nicer lol....how patriotic...basically taipei 101 is similar to KLCC...it has a posh shopping mall beneath it...and office on every floor of the tower and ding nen says theres a club/bar/pub....in the building which is frequently visited by celebrities.....but we didnt go there coz.....its too hot ....






anyway....taipei's public transport (MTR) is really impressive.....if u compare to malaysia's MRT.......lol...everyone lines up beside the door.....and wait for everyone to come out...only masuk..unlike our...kiasu nature of malaysians......and when taking the escalator.....everyone aligns to the right..while those in a hurry will walk on the left...so its pretty organised here....





we alsp visited the sun yat sen memorial hall...as u can see.....theres a HUGE STATUE of sun yat sen....ok its a statue...so ding nen finds it super hilarious coz there are 2 guards (theyre not suppose to move)....guarding a statue....as if some wan will steal it or something...or sun yat sen will run away or sumthin.....and if u see clearly.....on the floor..theres a sign saying..."SALUTE, PLEASE".......ok this i dont really get....salute to a statue???? at 1st i tot it was silence please...so LOL..i dunno wats going on





ok in taiwan ...i think theyre trying to make every customer feel SPECIAL....for example...in SOGO.....in front of the lift..there will be a...staff...dressed in a costume similar to sailormoon.....will welcome u....to the lift...and she will press the up / down buttons for u....









when the door opens...she will BOW to the customers inside the lift.....as u can see..theres another sailormoon in the lift....bowing too...so ppl will come out.....ppl will go in......the both the sailor moons continue to bow












bow until the door closes..then she will wait for the next lift to open.....den bow again













we actually took VERY LIL photos..so here are random pics...













































HK will come in part 2....lol
